Why make things more complicated? I'm going elsewhere
Who's bright idea was it to change from the easy 3-step & drink Tetra-Pak cartons to the overly complex 6 step plastic bottles?!?!?! No way it can be cheaper to make. You basically made product packaging more complex, more wasteful and the product more expensive. Exactly the opposite of what a consumer wants! Are you trying to lose business. If you are, congratulations! You lost me. The Tetra Pak was a 3 step and drink. Step 1: Chill. Step 2. Shake. Step 3. Twist cap to break seal and twist off. There. Done. Ready to drink. “New” plastic bottles: Step 1: Chill. Step 2: Shake well Step 3: Fight to remove the plastic wrap around the twist lid (knife, scissors, teeth,) Step 4: Twist off the cap Step 5: SURPRISE! Superglued foil covering the container opening. (Use teeth to remove the foil, because the “pull tab” is worthless). Oh, and try not spilling it when removing the heat sealed foil. Try not chipping your teeth either! Step 6: Drink (but by this time, I have to usually shake it again. So I screw the lid back on) Now, the genius marketing people “spin” this new design as easier to reclose, take with you on the go, finish your workout, etc. I don't know about you, but this is meant to be enjoyed cold. Says so right on the packaging. I'm not going to lug it around during my workout. Plus, it's a pre or likely post workout drink or a meal supplement. I'm not sipping on it like a latte or cup of tea. I'm drinking the thing fast. Faster even now because the taste is much worse then before. Noticeably different. Probably because they had to adjust the formula for their fancy new packaging. Oh, and worse for the environment. Tetra-Paks were recyclable. 2 pieces. Cap and container. The petroleum based bottle now has the cap, bottle, foil, and plastic wrap. Costs me MORE, for something that is LESS user friendly and tastes WORSE. Hard pass on these going forward. Been buying MM vanilla for 5 years. Found it superior tasting then others, nutritionally desirable for my needs, and a good price point. NOT any longer. See you later MM!! Unless of course you bring back the Tetra-Pak. Until then I need to find something else to spend my hard earned $ on
